Lost Smiles
My smiles keep getting lost on their way to you,
ending up everywhere except where they're meant to;
You're a Northern star, unreachable to ships at sea,
but an indicator of direction, of where they should be.
Like petals of cherry blossom the wind blows away,
they're too fragile and light, to be able to stay.
I envy the breeze that caresses your face,
softly, like the gentle touch of fine lace.
And my smiles wander, disoriented still,
sensing the space between us, that they try to fill;
a bridge of smiles, held together by hope,
a love letter in a transparent envelope.
So I keep waiting, like a bud awaits the spring,
hopeless yet hoping, a bell on a string -
a silent melody, safely stored away,
waiting for Dawn, for the light of day.
25.3.2019.
